I am a believer in giving back. I’ve donated fused glass pendants and other artwork to various charities. As anyone who talks to me or reads my newsletter knows I love Westcliffe. There is a place in Westcliffe that is a sanctuary for wolves. I’m not the best to donate […]
I wrote a post about my visit to the Westcliffe Train Depot a couple months ago. I noticed they have a small gift shop. I told them I’d be happy to give them some fused glass train magnets for them to sell and make a little bit more money. During […]
I love creating fused glass, but as I’ve mention I don’t always finish my pieces. I love creating little panels for night lights. It took me a while, but I finally finished the ones below. I think they turned out great with all the vitrigraph, millefiori, and murrine. I also […]
In April I gave a fused glass class to four lovely ladies and this month I gave another one to three ladies. Thank you Merle for setting this class up for me. In my first class we made small dishes. Here is the class set up. I gave each participant […]
Last month I wrote a blog about selling some of my glass scrap. Well one of the people who bought some glass from me sent me a beautiful gift, actually she sent me 5. She sent me fused glass hearts that she makes. They are very beautiful and very large. […]
There are various types of decals for fused glass. One type of decal is the custom ones I made for the memorial pieces I made. I print them out on special decal paper. It’s a bit of work so when I do that I always different types. Here are a […]
While I was making the scenic pendants I fell in love with the “part sheets” I decided to use some of them as bases for fused glass flower pendants, magnets, etc. I’ve made them before and I love them so much it’s difficult not to make more of them. Here […]
I love pictures of my granddaughter. I love taking the pictures and putting them on glass. One of the fused glass pieces I’ve made is a stand with pictures of Mzia. The flat ones are baked right on the glass and the others are on magnets so I can change […]
This is a bit of an odd post because it’s 2 parts. Custom Fused Glass Christmas ornaments and gifts. I put them together because even though they are all different, they are all gifts. First the ornaments. For 2020 I created four 2020 custom mask ornaments. I kept one, gave […]
I’ve written several posts on pressing glass, it’s such a fun technique. I’ve also written about silk screening. Well for this post I combined silk screening with pressed pendants. They are so thin, aren’t they awesome. I have some more pressed pieces that I need to decide what to do […]
A few months ago I made some beautiful fused glass flower scenes. I made some into magnets. I put two of them onto cards and gave them to my mom and mother-in-law for mother’s day. Recently I gave three away as gifts for three special ladies who weren’t feeling well. […]
Last month I wrote about several fused glass techniques and projects and I thought I’d better follow-up on a few of them. First I want to thank you for all your kind comments and emails. They mean a lot to me. Also thank you for liking and enjoying my travel […]
Just thought I’d show some of my finished fused glass pieces. Because I was TDY (military term for Business trip) this month and working on production pieces I didn’t have as much time to experiment and play as much as I normally like to do. But I did get to […]
In my Fresh From the Kiln this month, I showed a few of the plates (for the wall) with hand printed decals. These decals are full color verses the sepia decals I can make. One draw back is that the hand-printed colored decals are baked onto the glass instead of […]
